Hi everyone,
I’m in Peterlee and hoping to sell some gold and silver items for cash. I have a broken 9ct gold ring, a silver snuff box, and a few old coins I found while clearing my parents’ house. Local offers seemed very low and unclear.
Any recommendations for trustworthy buyers nearby?
I’m over in Horden and sold some items at Northern Bullion, including a 9ct gold wedding band, a silver candleholder, and a small silver picture frame. Everything was tested and weighed in front of me, which made the offer completely transparent.
I would avoid auctions, they’re slow and the fees can take a lot off the top. I sold a silver pen, a gold tie pin, and a decorative trinket box recently and it was far easier to deal directly once everything was tested.
I cleared my grandmother’s sideboard in Shotton and found a silver medal, a gold signet ring, a small inkwell, and a miniature sculpture. Northern Bullion’s online calculator gave a good idea of value before I went in.
Watching items being tested makes a big difference. I sold a gold cufflink set, a silver letter opener, and a decorative desk seal recently and seeing the weights and purity explained clearly made the cash offer feel fair.
I’ve sold a really varied selection over the last year including 9ct gold rings, 18ct bracelets, 925 silver chains, bullion coins, antique silver cutlery, engagement rings, silver pens, pocket watches, cigarette cases, picture frames, candleholders, snuff boxes, small trinket boxes, and miniature silver sculptures. Northern Bullion were very clear about testing and weighing everything, which made the process completely transparent and fair.
